Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

Today while frantically putting together notebooking material for the children, I discovered her to be the Patroness of Bavaria. The interesting link is Altotting is said to be the Lourdes of Germany.
Today being St Bernadettes feast day I found a great way to link the Popes b-day and Bernadette. As always the link is Our dear Mother.

Pope Benedict did visit Altötting during his papal visit to Bavaria. He prayed before the Black Madonna, which is central to the church. I never heard of an appearance there, but it is a beloved pilgramage destination.
